Diligent Socks

These socks from the UK’s Smart Turnout add an extra element to the comfortingly twee world of colorful toesleeves: The stripes are code for the British Adjutant General’s Corps.

It’s the same trick tradition-minded Brits usually play with ties and scarves—check out J.

But now that high cuffs have made them more visible, this idea might be ready for its moment.
